This page will guide you through the installation process of the Lab:
- Install Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.
https://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ orhttps://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu or
https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
Clone our cpm software repository into a folder called dev by typing: Create the folder '~/dev' and open it in a terminal:
Code Block language bash cd ~ mkdir dev cd dev
Clone the CPM Lab software repository:
devCode Block language bash git clone https://github.com/embedded-software-laboratory/cpm_lab
software
- Prepare to run our installation script by getting a license.dat-file for the RTI DDS Connext Service (ask your supervisor if you are a student or get into contact with RTI). This is not required if you are running the eProsima version (which is not yet present in the master branch).
Run our script to install all necessary components. In the software- folder you have just cloned you find 'install.sh'.
todo full installation simulation setup only run Code Block language bash cd software/
sudo bash install.sh
Code Block language bash cd software/
sudo bash install.sh --simulation
What will it install? Unbuntu packages Unbuntu packages Joystick/ Gamepad Joystick/ Gamepad RTI DDS Connext or eProsima RTI DDS Connext or eProsima RTI ARM or eProsima ARM OpenCV 4.0 for the Indoor Positioning System Basler Pylon 5 for the Indoor Positioning System and lab camera Info title Change DDS Domain If you want to change the DDS Domain later, go to change the corresponding variable
DDS_DOMAIN
in /etc/profileCurrently at .d/rti_connext_dds.sh.The following domain IDs are used in the CPM Lab the IDs are the following:
Domain ID Purpose 21 Main computerLab (main computer, NUCs, vehicles) 61-66 Lab computers 101-120 Vehicles 201-220 NUCsStudent computers Info title Change RTI license file If you want to update your license file, change the file at: /opt/rti_connext_dds-6.0.0/rti_license.dat Reboot your PC to avoid running
source /etc/profile.d/rti_connext_dds.sh
in every terminal you open..Optional:
Setup MATLAB. As a student from RWTH, you can do this with a MathWorks account following these instructions.
For RTI DDS: Download the DDS Support Package for MATLAB and install the toolbox. The native DDS addon that ships with MATLAB versions from 2021a only supports Simulink. If you are going to code in MATLAB, install the corresponding package from the link.To use MATLAB with eProsima, look here.
Note Make sure to create a symbolic link to the MATLAB binary during or after the setup!
Run the build script.
